The Mansion from Beyoncé's "Black Is King" Video Is on the Market for $125 Million
Beyoncé's new musical film, Black Is King, is filled with stunning visuals start to finish, but our personal favorite is a jaw-dropping, Spanish-style mansion known as the Beverly House. As its name suggests, this estate is located in Beverly Hills, and it’s the former home of publisher William Randolph Hearst. If the home looks familiar, that’s because it was also featured in The Godfather and The Bodyguard. And, better yet, it’s currently on the market, so if you have a spare $125 million lying around, you can call this stunning mansion home, just as Beyoncé and Jay Z do in Black Is King. The house is listed by The Agency, under its founder and CEO, Mauricio Umansky (who happens to be married to Kyle Richards of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills).
We first see Beverly House in Black Is King when a chauffeur pulls up in a vintage black Rolls Royce, with Jay Z comfortably lounging in the backseat. As the film goes on, there are countless stunning shots of the interior and exterior of the mansion, which includes impeccable landscaping alongside the nearly “Olympic-size” pool (as the listing says), mosaic tiles that perfectly fit the Spanish style of the home, an opulent gold room with mirrored walls and a crystal chandelier, and Beyoncé sleeping in an ornate bed with a Marie Antoinette-style lace fan hanging above it.
Some of the most breathtaking shots in Black Is King take place in the backyard of Beverly House, which features a series of quaint ponds leading up to a giant swimming pool filled with synchronized swimmers and a very glamorous Beyoncé at the center. This scene shows us what we imagine a Gatsby-style party would look like if Beyoncé was hosting it, and the grand architecture in the backdrop works perfectly with this over-the-top aesthetic. Perfectly landscaped hedges and trees add to the splendor, as does the enchanting terrace that can hold over 400 people.
If you weren’t already impressed with this mansion, it has presidential ties, too—President John F. Kennedy used Beverly House as his West Coast headquarters during his presidential campaign, and he even honeymooned here with Jacqueline. The home, which was built in 1927, has 18 bedrooms and 25 bathrooms across 35,000 square feet, and it sits on 3.53 acres. There’s also a tennis court on the property, 12 fireplaces throughout the house, and it’s located just three blocks from the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel.
We would love to live the life that Beyoncé and Jay Z lead at Beverly House, but, given its $125 million price tag, it looks like we'll just have to admire it from afar.
